This week I went to Lady Gaga's ArtRAVE at the Air Canada Center in Toronto, and it was excellent! A very magical and refreshing concert experience! I have been listening to Artpop a lot this year and it is a really really good pop album. I've always liked Lady Gaga, but Artpop made me a bigger fan! I love all of the songs especially "Fashion". Unfortunately she didn't perform that song at the show though :(

I was lucky enough to get floor tickets only a week prior to the event, I was very indecisive if I should go as I needed to save money, but I really do love Artpop and wanted listen to the music live. Also, the show itself is very beautiful and extravagant, so it was worth the money!にひひ

Crayon Pop was the main opening act, and this was my first time seeing a k-pop group live, which was really exciting! I am not too familiar with their songs other then their big hit 크레용팝 빠빠빠(Bar Bar Bar)They wore their cute trade mark outfits complete with crash helmets. They were super cute and I loved watching the choreography. They had a very graceful and almost nonchalant style of dancing. They were very chatty with the audience and got the crowed to sing and dance along. ニコニコ I was really hoping to see BABYMETAL, but they will be in the later part of her tour in the US. SO SAD.しょぼん But I'm still happy that I got to see Crayon Pop!



What I loved about the show in particular was the stage design, with the white modern castle on the main stage, and glowing runways! The runways would lead to 4 other mini stages that allowed Gaga to travel around and perform up close to the audience in the floor section. However, if you were far from the stage and in the seating section, the view was still very beautiful because of the overall stage design! I liked that they took this into consideration and set it up so that the show would look great from anywhere in the audience. I was near one of these mini stages so there were parts of the show where she was right in front of us! It felt very surreal and it was nice to see the costumes up close! She looked so beautfil like a real life goddess, her butt was also beautiful! にひひ <3 ラブラブ!ドキドキ



ラブラブThe outfits and stage design were consistent with the Artpop theme, including her golden leottard complete with golden wings, and Jeff Coon's signature blue ball protruding from the bodice. This was the first outfit of the show and my personal favorite, and she performed the title track 'Artpop' ラブラブ



There was a part of the concert were she performed 'Venus' and these inflatable floral trees grew out of the stages, it was so cool! There is no other way I can explain it! They also had a lot of confetti explosions throughout the show, and each time the confetti had different colours and shapes. The first set of confetti had sea shell shapes to match her Venus costume, I really like the detail they put into the overall show, and I appreciate when they go that extra mile to make the event special and memorable. I also really enjoyed her dancers who would come around our side of the stage in colourful costumes, they looked really happy and radiated a positive upbeat vibe throughout the show, which made it more thrilling and exciting! ニコニコ

Lady Gaga's performance was amazing as expected with her powerful and passionate vocals and energetic dancing. She liked to say 'fuck' a lot and it made me kind of giggle because it contrasts with the pretty ethereal surroundings, everything felt surreal! I'm happy to say that I have listened to Lady Gaga perform Live with her piano! I can't decide which performance I liked the most because they were all fantastic, but I suppose 'Do what u want" was the best for me because she performed it right next to me while sitting in a silver throne shaped like a "monster claw" it was very epic!ラブラブ!

Here are my favorite snaps from my point of view from the show:



If you have the chance to go to this event, I would highly recommend it! Even if you are not a fan, it's just a beautiful spectacle and you will experience an incredibly talented woman perform LIVE! You won't regret it :)

Thanks for reading! Until next time!

Another concert I went to recently was ONE OK ROCK at the Phoenix Concert Hall (Much better then The Sound Academy). I remember hearing about them awhile ago, now they are really popular and have a lot of loyal overseas fans. It was great to see another Japanese artist come to Toronto :) The only album I am familiar with is 感情エフェクト Which is excellent.



They didn't play too many songs from that album but it was great hearing them live non the less. The band had great energy and the show had a very positive and uplifting vibe. I think they were touched by the amazing response from their North American fans :)

I've been meaning to make a post about this so I am finally going to do it now!

It is not very often that Japanese artists visit Toronto, so it was very exciting to see きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅin concert! The show was excellent, but unfortunately it was very hard to get a good view of the stage ショック!

We saw the show at a venue called 'The Sound Academy' I have been to this venue before, and I have to say, it is quite terrible. The staff and security are extremely rude, and very disorganized. Lining up and getting checked in was excruciating. The concert was in March and during that time, the Toronto weather was VERY VERY cold, and we had to wait outside for quite a while. シラー

Another thing that sucked about The Sound Academy is the layout of the stage, if you are not close to the front, you basically can't see anything, It was really disappointing. In the end we tried our best to enjoy to the show, by singing and dancing along! My favorite parts of the show was when she performed つけまつける & もったいないとらんど !!ドキドキドキドキドキドキ



I was lucky enough to get a meet and greet ticket, so I got to have my photo taken with her! I was very excited and super, super nervous (the security at the venue were also intimidating) so the interaction with her was very brief, I managed to say “Nice to meet you” and quickly went into the heart pose, I couldn't really think straight, she was very sweet and just mirrored me ^_^;




感謝の意 Kyary-Chan for coming to Toronto! ドキドキドキドキドキドキ
